Mike Stangel, does reproducing Copyleft images on Geni breach their conditions, or are we in the clear there?

What is Copyleft ?

Sharon Doubell Yes, copyleft allows the use and modification of licensed works of art as long as the license is published with the re-used work. So you should copy the license statement into the Attribution field.

Thank you. I'm pretty certainly not going to modify them any further :-)

Copyleft is a way to make sure that any modified versions of a work (like software or art) must also stay free and open for others to use and share.

It's like the opposite of copyright, which restricts sharing, while copyleft enforces it!

Thank you Ahmad and Sharon.
